I’m finding it very difficult to believe that Anita Dunn, who said on film on June 5 that communist mass murderer Chairman Mao was one of her philosophical heroes, still has a job. Can you imagine the ramifications of a Republican in her position saying something even mildly similar? For folks who don’t pay attention, under Mao nearly 34 million people were murdered, many in concentration camps. Think North Korea. Disgusting. This woman has no place in any responsible administration.… Read More

Republicans made a huge mistake when they kept John Boehner in the House leadership.

I’ve pasted in below a brief from John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, outlining the disastrous support of a leftist GOP candidate in a New York House race. This is exactly why the RNC and NRCC will continue to get none of my support. It was leftist Republicans like this that prevented energy, endangered species and immigration legislation from being passed when we had majorities, and led to the anger and disgust the conservative base has with the GOP presently. We are better to lose the seat than win with this RINO.

Republicans Put on a ClinicRepublicans are set to do well in the November 3 off-year elections, but a conspicuous exception may be the special House election in New York’s 23rd Congressional District, a rural area bordering Canada that covers a quarter of the state’s territory. In a wild three-way race, Republican Dede Scozzafava has fallen behind Democrat Bill Owens, largely because Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman is pulling 23% of the vote. The disastrous Scozzafava candidacy was… Read More

Both are attached below. Ackerman hits Norby.

Norby hits Ackerman.

I love football. It’s a great sport to watch on television, but even more fun to attend in person. As someone who grew up in Los Angeles, much of my life was spent with no close-by National Football League team, once the Rams picked up and moved East. While the absence of an NFL team for Los Angeles was unfortunate, it was significantly mitigated by some great college football teams in the area. But I do get my hopes up every time I hear that someone is thinking about bringing an NFL team back to my home town. So I have been following with some interest the efforts of billionaire Ed Roski (pictured) to construct a stadium for NFL play over in East Los Angeles, and bringing a team to Los Angeles County.

Of course it is no surprise that one of th hurdles to engaging in a major construction project in California is regulatory cost. This state is one of the leaders in the nation in the unfortunate category of making it much more… Read More

Two weeks ago I had a chance to sit down with Gubernatorial hopeful Meg Whitman for the better part of an hour. Our interview covered a number of policy areas including global warming/AB32, eminent domain, gun control, abortion, and philosophy about government. Because I had a digital recorder along, are able to bring you some direct excerpts from the interview. THIS IS THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF THIS INTERVIEW. YOU CAN READ PART ONE (ON THE ENVIRONMENT, GLOBAL WARMING, AND AB 32) CLICK HERE. YOU CAN READ PART… Read More

Despite the best efforts of the California Chamber of Commerce to expose anti-job legislation through their “Job Killer” reports, California legislators continue to author, debate and pass bills that have resulted in record high unemployment in the Golden State. Though legislators may believe they are reigning in large corporations, the data shows that small and medium sized businesses have borne the brunt of the effects of these efforts. According to the Chamber of Commerce, 70-80% of all jobs come from small/medium companies. In order to lower the current unemployment rate, small businesses need to be able to put as much of their money into salaries as possible, and put Californians back to work.

But as the unemployment lines grow longer, the chore of finding the best talent becomes increasingly difficult for employers that are hiring. Taking resumes via mail, email, job boards and every conceivable social… Read More

The great "moderate" signed a few more idiotic bills this week, further cementing his legacy as the worst governor in California history. His performance was so bad this week that it prompted GOP Assembly Caucus leader Sam Blakeslee, no conservative himself, to write the following memo to his caucus. All of you GOP types out there clamoring for a "moderate" solution, please tell me why again? What we get with "electibility" is ….. crap.

From: "Blakeslee, Sam"

To: "Assembly Republican Caucus" Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:57:45 -0700 Subject: Governor’s Signatures

Members: Yesterday we all witnessed the public policy disaster perpetrated by the Governor’s hand.

His decision to sign into law some of the most noxious legislative proposals brought before us this year is both disheartening and revealing.

Most of us have read in today’s papers accounts of the Governor’s shocking reversal of position on the issues about which we care most deeply: taxes, second amendment rights, family values, over-regulation, etc.

This sudden… Read More
